May 2006 The West's demand for Cassiterite is fuelling the killings in Congo. Militias rely on slave labour to extract the ore, forcing locals to work in sub-human conditions. "Once you get down there, there's no air", describes one worker. "The rocks often bury us and you have to crawl through the tiny hole, using your fingers to dig." Labourers like him often go unpaid. They're forced to work at gunpoint by militias operating outside the control of the government. "Different armed groups do what they want with the population", laments minister Buta Muiso. But British businessman Ketankumar Kotecha sees nothing wrong in buying casiterite from the militias. "If I didn't do it, someone else would. I am not here as some kind of moral saviour."

@bgibb101 What do you mean "Western meddling" no sensible corporation, government, or business would ever invest in a country with the level of social upheaval and tense volatility as in the Congo. They could pay the natives a living wage, only to see their investment burned down by regional or tribal warlords.Africa has and always will be backward because the people have yet to adopt our technologies.

Congo is super-rich in natural resources. The Congo River could generate enough electricity to light up half the continent. Unfortunately, western meddling and tribalism have kept them back. Love the people and the vast unspoiled forest - i hope to go back one day.
